Actress Rashida Jones is an expert jet-setter. Her love of travel was even documented on The Getaway, along with other black celebrities such as Aisha Taylor, Eve, and Yasiin Bey. She recently put all that experience to work when she teamed up with Away on a capsule collection of luggage, packing cubes, and a travel tote based on her travels to Stockholm.

Tamera Mowry, co-host of daytime talk show The Real, does more than “real talk” on her website, TameraMowry.com. The wife and mother of two is equally adept at dispensing advice on family, healthy living, home decor, and fashion and beauty. It’s clear the lifestyle gene runs in the family, though, as her twin sister, Tia, hosts Tia Mowry at Home on the Cooking Channel.
